Useful:

• Chemical Classes: Solvents -> Aliphatics, Saturated (
• Canonical SMILES: CCC(C)CC
• Inhalation Risk: A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20 °C.
• Effects of Short Term Exposure: The substance and the vapour are mildly irritating to the eyes, respiratory tract and skin. If swallowed the substance easily enters the airways and could result in aspiration pneumonitis. The substance may cause effects on nervous system. This may result in lowering of consciousness.
• Effects of Long Term Exposure: The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking. Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
• Physical properties: Clear, colorless, flammable liquid with an odor similar to hexane, heptane, and similar aliphatic hydrocarbons. An odor threshold concentration of 8.9 ppmv was reported by Nagata and Takeuchi (1990).
• Uses: 3-Methylpentane is a component of three typical commercial hexanes, obtained from the fractionation of natural gas liquids, a refinery operation involving hydrogenation, and a stream meeting polymerization. Other than for fuel, it is used in extraction of oil from seeds and as a solvent and reaction medium in the manufacture of polyolefins, synthetic rubbers, and some pharmaceuticals. 3-Methylpentane is used as a solvent in the preparation of vegetable oils, glues, coatings, and paints. It is also used in gasoline, rubber solvent, and petroleum ether.
